Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"Aizen... Vice Captain, my spiritual pressure is not enough to release Bankai again."

"...It doesn't matter."

Aizen waved his hand and pushed his glasses:

"After all, he's a captain. When he gives his all, he shouldn't be underestimated."

"During the frontal battle, we wanted to end the battle easily, but we were a little too arrogant after all."

The baby-headed worm charged towards them, but Aizen didn't retreat but advanced to meet it:

"Vice Captain Nie, I just heard you say the current environment is [smoke and dust], right?"

Seeing this, Kurotsuchi Mayuri sneered:

"Oh? Instead of running away, you're heading towards [Golden-haired Jizo]?"

"remarkably brave!"

"Yes, it's a smoky environment. What are you going to do? Release your Bankai?"

He sneered:

"But, if your Bankai isn't biological, then the only outcome will be having your spiritual pressure sucked away and disintegrating!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Aizen smiled confidently, his glasses reflecting a dangerous light.

"Swastika."

"——Virtual Sea Mirage."

He quietly pinched the gray-white stone ball in his sleeve, and a strange spiritual pressure fluctuation appeared on Aizen's sword.

Chapter 184: Sea Surface and Undersea

The bright moon rises over the sea.

This is the first impression of the bee.

An extremely illusory full moon appeared in the night sky, and below it was a sea as calm as a mirror.

"ocean?"

Broken Bee frowned and thought to himself:

"When did the sea appear?"

This is still the underground training ground of the First Team, surrounded by thick walls and floor tiles made of murderous stone.

But as long as you look at where Aizen is standing, the concept of "sea" naturally emerges in your mind.

Soi Fong became alert, and heard Kyoraku Shunsui say behind her:

"...Amazing! Did it directly interfere with cognition?"

Upon hearing this, Soi-Feng turned around and asked:

"ocean?"

"ocean."

Fuzhu nodded, his face serious:

"Although the ground beneath Aizen's feet was pitch black, no different from the tiles of the murderous stone."

"But my spiritual sense keeps telling me."

"—Where Aizen stands is sea level."

At this moment, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's voice rang out from the field:

"I admit, your Bankai is quite interesting."

He looked around and was amazed:

"Bankai that changes the environment through cognition... is indeed rare."

"Your Shikai is a water-type Zanpakutō that uses moisture to interfere with vision."

"Once you reach Bankai, does that mean it's an illusion-type Zanpakutō?"

Aizen smiled slightly:

"You can understand it that way."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri snorted disdainfully.

"But it's useless. Unless it's a biological Bankai, the outer part of the Reiatsu will inevitably come into contact with the environment."

"In this murderous environment of stone smoke and dust, your Bankai won't last long."

Hearing this, Aizen's smile widened:

"Really?"

Kuroda Mayuri was originally dismissive, but when he saw Aizen's smile, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"…Wait, what did you do?"

He quickly sensed his surroundings and frowned.

"...The environment of the murderous stone has disappeared?"

“How did you do that??”

Aizen spread his hands:

"You think too highly of me. I didn't do anything."

"only--"

He lowered his head and looked at his feet:

"Something like smoke and dust sinks into water, dissolving partially while remaining suspended. Isn't that a normal physical phenomenon?"

"If you encounter the ocean, you will sink to the bottom and become part of the sand."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

"what?!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri quickly lowered his head to look.

There was only a layer of fine sand floating on the ground.

He took a closer look and was shocked:

That was actually the murderous stone smoke that was released into the air just now! !

"Is this kind of thing even possible?"

"I really underestimated you..."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked up, a barely perceptible bead of sweat trickling down his cheek.

"what is this?"

"Using idealistic concepts to interfere with the laws of physics?"

Hearing this, Aizen laughed out loud:

"That's an exaggeration. Anyone who can do something like that must be a god, right?"

"but……"

He lowered his tone and said in a voice that only he could hear:

"Not too far off..."

Aizen suddenly fell silent, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri couldn't help but ask:

"What did you say?"

"I said……"

The moonlight sprinkled on the black mirror-like sea surface, and the light reflected on Lan Zhe's glasses, shining a dangerous cold light.

"Your Bankai, that disgusting fleshworm..."

"It seems like I'm going to die."

"?!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes widened.

He suddenly remembered that his Bankai should have been charging towards Aizen!!

How could I have forgotten it?

"Golden Killing Jizo!!"

Kuroshita Mayuri realized it later, shouted loudly, and used his spiritual sense to sense his Bankai.

"under!?"

He looked down in disbelief:

Beneath the "sea surface", the flesh worm on the baby's head showed an expression of painful struggle.

Its pupilless eyeballs suddenly bulged, and its mouth opened wide, spitting out a string of bubbles.

Then the baby's eyes became dull and slowly closed.

——It drowned.

“…How is this possible?!”

Mayuri Kurotsuchi couldn't believe it.

The captains watching the game were equally unbelievable.

They stood further away, without being interfered with by Aizen's Bankai, and witnessed the entire strange process.

As soon as the full moon appeared in the sky, Kurotsuchi Mayuri used his Bankai, and the baby-headed worm fell into the water.

It thrashed and struggled, then sank... beneath the floor.

Yes, it turned into a translucent state and sank under the solid murderous stone tiles.

Then, if I went to the ground, I should no longer be able to see the figure.

But it seemed as if it had perspective and still remained in everyone's sight.

What is even more bizarre is that he fell into the water and drowned.

The owner of the baby-head worm - Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Never looked at it once.

"This is... a bit scary."

Kyoraku Shunsui witnessed the entire process and couldn't help but say:

"My own Bankai can actually achieve the same effect."

"Reiatsu transforms into the deep sea, sinking the enemy into the abyss."

"But this Aizen..."

His brows furrowed slightly, no longer the relaxed demeanor he had in his gaming life.

"Will you let others sink to the bottom of the sea while you yourself stand on the surface?"

"The most important thing is... those who are hostile to him, while standing on the surface of the sea, will ignore the things that are sinking into the sea..."

Unohana Retsu also rarely participated in the discussion:

"If you can ignore even Bankai, how much less your companions?"

"In other words, people who fall into the water don't just fall into the water."

"—but rather, the entire existence is ignored, completely disappearing from the cognition of others."

When these words were spoken, everyone shuddered.

If it was me who fell into the water...
